<p>Other Factors:numerous visits, got to record in Newhouse studio during an info session :wink: open houses, kept in close contact with profs I met.
General Comments: Newhouse was my second choice to the Bandier Program, not a bad deal. Pretty excited, lemme know if anyones in that same major! :D</p>

<p>The first batch went out on Friday, 12/10. Has anyone received a notification email since then? Per admissions, everyone should hear no later than 12/15. Yes, waiting is challenging especially at the very end.</p>

<p>DJW513 We have a question for you>>>
Do you think notification will go out over the next 3 Friday afternoons? It seems like it comes in waves. and we agree with you. It seems no one has received notification after last Friday 12/9.</p>

<p>I doubt it’s every friday. I know some people who found out yesterday.</p>

<p>How important is the interview? They were totally book and so my dd did not get to have one.</p>

<p>Did not receive notification today even though the guidance counselor called and was told that they would be released today. SU closes on 12/23 for the holiday and so I imagine that will be the last day.</p>
